Bell Launches ‘You Could Win a 3G Palm Pre Contest’… and Use the Palm Treo Pro in Artwork Instead
I’m not sure if this is sad or funny. You tell me. We’ve known for awhile now that Bell will be the exclusive carrier of the Palm Pre in Canada. Earlier today, my bud John over at MobileSyrup pointed out to me that Bell has launched a new contest involving a Pre. The contest will…
